Big pay raise for Michigan State president. By The Associated Press â¢ Dec 13, 2014. EAST LANSING (AP) - The president of Michigan State University is getting a raise - whether she likes it or not. Trustees raised Lou Anna Simon's salary by 44 percent Friday to $750,000 and awarded her a $100,000 bonus. Simon has declined raises since 2007 and donated bonuses back to the university. Trustees say they greatly appreciate Simon's modesty and generosity.
The appointment of the new chief executive was made following open competition and a worldwide search. The salary for the post remains the same as that of the current postholder, Â£211,000. However in the light of NHS spending pressures, Simon has asked to take a voluntary 10% pay cut for the year ahead, so he will instead draw a salary of Â£189,900.
